Dynamo fans are not Hooligans or even close

It’s somewhat sad but otherwise laughable that anybody would call the Dynamo Supporter Groups hooligans in any context.

Whether you agree or not with the MLS sanctions against the Dynamo supporters groups, let’s point out a few things. Nobody is accusing the Dynamo SGs of being hooligans. A few smoke bombs and F-bombs don’t equate to hooliganism. You want to see hooligans, you generally have to go to Europe. (See below).

They make you think the Dynamo Supporters are a bunch of choirboys.

Heck, the closest thing I’ve seen to fans being out of control at a Dynamo match was in the summer of 2010 when Arsenal legend Thierry Henry made his MLS debut in Houston. (See bottom). That incident could have turned ugly.

Moreover, the MLS’ sanctions only affect road games.

It’s not as though many of the Dynamo fans will be out in force on the road. Essentially, the sanctions are the equivalent of my wife telling me I cannot go out with Angelina Jolie while she’s out of town.

Either way, rest assured nobody has accused the Dynamo supporters groups of being hooligans. I don’t think that term fits.

But what do you think? Are Dynamo fans just supporting the team? Or do they take it tOo far? Are you OK with fans’ behavior at games? We want to hear. Comment below.
